'The
Originals'

Family
is power. The original vampire family swore it to each other a
thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and
forever. Now, centuries have passed and the bonds of family are
broken. Time, tragedy and hunger for power have torn the original
family apart. When Klaus Mikaelson, the original vampire-werewolf
hybrid, receives a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him
in the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New
Orleans, he returns to the city his family helped build.

Klaus'
questions lead him to a reunion with his diabolical former protégé,
Marcel, a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human
and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Determined to help his
brother find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus and soon learns that
the werewolf Hayley has also come to the French Quarter searching for
clues to her family history, and has fallen into the hands of a
powerful witch named Sophie.

Tensions
between the town's supernatural factions are nearing a breaking
point as Marcel commands his devoted followers and rules with
absolute power. For Klaus, the thought of answering to his powerful
protégé is unthinkable, and he vows to reclaim what was once his -
the power, the city and his family. While they wait to see if their
sister Rebekah will leave Mystic Falls and join them, Klaus and
Elijah form an uneasy alliance with the witches to ensure that New
Orleans will be ruled by "The
Originals"
once again.

They
are the next evolutionary leap of mankind, a generation of humans
born with paranormal abilities - the Tomorrow People. Stephen
Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the
shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a
"normal" teenager - until he began hearing voices and
teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now,
Stephen's issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and
he is beginning to question his sanity.

In
desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his
head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow
People - John, Cara and Russell - a genetically advanced race
with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic
communication.

The
Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of
scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the
Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival
species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an
abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world.

Trading
in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with
his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle
to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People. On the other hand,
Cara, John and Russell offer Stephen a different type of family and a
home where he truly belongs. Unwilling to turn his back on humanity
or the world of the Tomorrow People, Stephen sets out on his own path
- a journey that could take him into the shadowy past to uncover
the truth about his father's mysterious disappearance, or into an
unknown future with "The
Tomorrow People."

Hidden
between the lines of the history books is the story of Mary Stuart,
the young woman the world would come to know as Mary, Queen of Scots.

Queen
of Scotland since she was six days old, the teenage Mary is already a
headstrong monarch - beautiful, passionate and poised at the very
beginning of her tumultuous rise to power. Arriving in France with
four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to
secure Scotland's strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged
engagement to the French king's dashing son, Prince Francis.

But
the match isn't signed and sealed: it depends more on politics,
religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. Prince Francis
is intrigued by the fiery Scot but, like most young men, he resists
the idea of settling down into marriage, especially when he has a
history with a lady of the court and his own point of view on the
wisdom of an alliance with Scotland.

Still,
an attraction between Mary and Francis is ignited. Further
complicating things is Bash, Francis' roguish half-brother, who has
a history of his own - despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his
father's favorite. And now that Bash has caught Mary's eye, a
royal triangle may be forming.

While
at French Court, fierce foes and dark forces conspire to sabotage
Mary's marriage to Francis and even threaten her life, until a
mysterious shrouded guide becomes her ally. With danger and sexual
intrigue around every dark castle corner, Mary rallies her
ladies-in-waiting and steels herself, ready to rule the new land and
balance the demands of her country and her heart.

"Reign"
is from CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television with
executive producers Stephanie SenGupta ("Hawaii Five-0"), Laurie
McCarthy ("The Ghost Whisperer"), Frank Siracusa ("Beauty And
The Beast") and Brad Silberling ("Moonlight Mile"). The pilot
was directed by Silberling.

Midseason

'Star-Crossed'

When
Emery was 6 years old, an alien spacecraft crash-landed in her small
town. Whether they came in peace or with more sinister intentions
didn't matter: a fierce battle erupted as humans fought for control
over their new rivals, an alien species called the Atrians.

In
the midst of the conflict, Roman, a 6-year-old Atrian boy, found his
way to a shed behind Emery's house, where she protected him from
harm, bringing him food, comfort - and friendship. In their brief
time together, Emery and Roman forged a deep bond, but the
authorities wasted no time tracking Roman down and capturing him in a
violent confrontation.

Emery
has grown up believing that Roman was killed that day. Ten years
later, the Atrians have been acclimated to life on Earth, but they
are interned in a heavily guarded camp known as "The Sector" to
keep them separate from humans. Now, for the first time, a group of
Atrian teens will enroll in a suburban human high school, with the
goal of testing the feasibility of human/alien integration. The eyes
of the nation and the whole world are fixed on this historical social
experiment, an endeavor fraught with suspicion and fear.

In
the mayhem of the first day, Emery is amazed to learn that Roman was
not killed by the authorities and is, in fact, one of the Atrian
students. Their childhood bond is quickly rekindled - in a school
and a society that distrusts everything about the Atrians, Emery and
Roman have found each other again. However, their relationship is
threatened by the small-mindedness of their respective communities
and the political agendas of people in power.

While
the world around them rages with anger and prejudice, their bond
becomes increasingly strong and increasingly dangerous. As an epic
Romeo and Juliet romance unfolds, a violent encounter between Roman's
father and Emery's father occurs in "The Sector." Can Roman and
Emery's love - and peace between the species - survive?

Ninety-seven
years ago, nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying
civilization. The only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12
international space stations that were in orbit at the time.

Three
generations have been born in space, the survivors now number 4,000,
and resources are running out on their dying "Ark" - the 12
stations now linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors
alive.

Draconian
measures including capital punishment and population control are the
order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to
ensure their future, including secretly exiling a group of 100
juvenile prisoners to the Earth's surface to test whether it's
habitable. For the first time in nearly a century, humans have
returned to planet Earth.

Among
the 100 exiles are Clarke, the bright teenage daughter of the Ark's
chief medical officer; Wells, son of the Ark's chancellor; the
daredevil Finn; and the brother/sister duo Bellamy and Octavia, whose
illegal sibling status has always led them to flaunt the rules.

Technologically
blind to what's happening on the planet below them, the Ark's
leaders - Clarke's widowed mother, Abby; the chancellor, Jaha;
and his shadowy second in command, Kane - are faced with difficult
decisions about life, death and the continued existence of the human
race. For the 100 young people on Earth, however, the alien planet
they've never known is a mysterious realm that can be magical one
moment and lethal the next.

With
the survival of the human race entirely in their hands, "The100"
must find a way to transcend their differences, unite and forge a new
path on a wildly changed Earth that's primitive, intense and
teeming with the unknown.

There
is a family in the U.S. that has what it takes to become famous. The
question is, can they pull it off in 12 weeks? That's the challenge
in the new unscripted series "Famous
in 12,"
a unique social experiment that tracks the lives of one determined
family as they move to the entertainment capital of the world - Los
Angeles - and seek fame in a 12-week time frame.

Members
of the family will all have unique and varied talents, and they will
each get a series of challenges to create a public profile fit for a
Kardashian. The family will be guided by the TMZ machine, which will
create a series of opportunities for them. TMZ and Harvey Levin will
help, but it is up to the family to pull it off. When they succeed at
their challenges, they will appear on the TMZ TV show and TMZ.com,
which will raise their profile.

Family
members will exploit all forms of social media to wage a campaign of
fame. In addition to the challenges, the family will circulate day to
day ... at the gym, restaurants, bars, parties and other places where
celebs hang and opportunities call.

Executive-produced
by David Garfinkle ("The Surreal Life"), Jay Renfroe ("The
Surreal Life") and Harvey Levin (TMZ), "Famous
in 12"
is from Renegade 83 and Harvey Levin Productions in association with
Warner Horizon Television and Telepictures.
